So this past week was alright. Tuesday was Elder Paks birthday (he is one of the other elders that I live with). So we didn't really do anything super special that day but we get a meal appointment from one of the members. But that member lives like an hour away in the middle of nowhere. Our area, Sang Een, is pretty big. Its in a part of Daegu called Daileso(달서구), and a few other tinier parts of Daegu, and even some parts that arent in Daegu. So this member lived in some little countryside town way out in nowhere. It reminded me a lot of my first area Samcheon Po.
So we went there and came back. Wednesday we went to Daemyeong for our district meeting and proselyted for the rest of the day. Daegu is a pretty awesome place to proselyte because people really like talking to foreigners (sometimes in english). A lot of people dont have interest in religion but a lot of people like to learn english so we make it work. Thursday we didnt have a plan so we proselyted some more and visited a less active. And Friday we were able to meet with an investigator at nighttime and had another dinner appointment at night.
So we just proselyted a little during the afternoon and we had a pretty good day. Saturday was really fun because we got to help a member move her house in the morning. Koreans live in the tiniest houses but they have so much stuff. The usually have two refrigerators too. One for Kim Chi and one for their other food. Then we had English class, abd after that a little youth activity. After that we proselyted.
Sunday we went to church and had 2 people come out of nowhere saying that there relatives got baptized in Busan and that they wanted to come to church to see what it was like. So maybe they will become investigators. Plus the less active we met on thursdays two kids came to church so we will probably start teaching them the lessons too. After church we did a little more proselyting and went back to the members house that we moved and gave it a blessing. And we also went and visited a less active for about 10 minutes.
Missionary work is moving along here. Its pretty tough though. Really the only way we can get investigators is through member refferals and those dont really come often. So we have to spend a lot of time proselyting which isnt really effective but we don't really have any other choice. But even though its hard we are still able to make it work. Im sure its a lot harder in other areas of the world. Im super greatful that I can speak english. It never really seemed like a super bug gift until i came here as a missionary. Its been pretty awesome to be able to serve people in a way that only i could. Its fun too!
Nothing really super fun happened this week but Im always ready for surprises to happen because sometimes those come out of nowhere. Anyways have a nice week! Its raining pretty hard outside right now so maybe it'll snow in the near future! talk to you all again next week! Bye!
